thank you. justice and homeland security correspondent jeff pegues talking to law enforcement sources about the cases in new jersey, new york and minnesota. jeff, what can you tell us? >> investigators have not definitively made the connection between the bomb in manhattan and one in seaside park, new jersey. but law enforcement sources say both used similar components. a clearer picture is emerging about what happened in saint cloud, minnesota and the motive behind the attac people was asking people if they were muslim. those who replied that they were not were stabbed. sources say that the man has had recent run-ins with police and lives in minnesota. an isis related website is claiming that the attacker was an isis soldier. but investigators are still trying to confirm itch that is accurate and the nature of the attacker's connection to sources. and all the evidence in the case.
3:35 am
was communicating with with before the attack. >> jeff pegues, thank you. john dickerson of face the nation discussed the attacks with peter king sits on homeland security and intelligence committees. congressman, governor cuomo said there are no links to international terrorism, do you think that's the case? >> we don't know. in many of the cases we don't later whether or not a terrorist link. whether or not connected overseas. whether or not it is home grown. the fact there is no evidence right now. doesn't mean much. times square bombing in new york, 2011, guess it was. and there was no, took several days before, to realize that that was coming out of the, taliban in pakistan. boston marathon bombing we didn't know for several days for certain if, if that was terrorists. so i think you have to assume from the start, terrorism is a real possibility.
3:36 am
not. you know we don't know. certainly would not even think of ruling out terrorism at this stage. >> what's the best way to react for the public and law enforcement officials in incidents like this. we now are so connected. the minute something happens, there is a kind of a rush to, to, name it right away. one thing or another. what's the proper way to respond to these? let the nypd and fbi handle it. they're the best in the world what to do. and also to realize as we go forward. and that terrorism and type of attacks from overseas or home grown or whether they're just malcontents, we are always vulnerable to these type of attacks. it is so important the police be allowed to do their job. we have to have surveillance. we have to monitor. we can tell in advance when these are going to happen. at least have a better grip on when they, when they could be happening. some times once they're over with. we put them in the recesses of
3:37 am
these threats are real. they will continue. whether this is overseas terrorism. domestic terrorism, any terrorism at all. it is a wake-up call another one as to how vulnerable we are. so important for the police, fbi to be given the tools and be allowed to do what they have to do. >> if new york can be hit, a city on top of the issue, obviously since 9/11. what more can be done. just these kind of things will happen. part of the new normal? >> i didn't think we can accept it as being part of the new normal. go to the debate. why do we feel the nsa is important. surveillance is communities, where the threat can be coming from is important. why we can't allow overconcern of civil liberties get in the wra of solid enforcement. let's not let political correctness to stop the police and fbi from doing investigations they have to do. use the example many times. going after the mafia you go to italian. irish, communities when looking for the westies. and right now if the threat is from islamist terrorism, go to muslim communities.

earth was rocking in oklahoma this weekend. the u.s. geological survey recorded 13 small quakes including magnitude 3.5 near fairview. 3.2 outside oklahoma city. oklahoma now the most earthquake prone state, in the continental u.s. wasn't always like that. before 2009 an average of two earthquakes a year magnitude 3 or higher. last year, there were nearly 1,000. all most all were man made. bill whitaker has the story for "60 minutes." >> reporter: the vast majority of earthquakes are small causing little or no damage. but what they lack in punch. they make up in sheer volume.
3:41 am
number of earthquakes in oklahoma has increased every year since 2009. with more than 2,000 magnitude 3 and above. that means more of the bigger ones. the 4.3 magnitude quake in edmond, oklahoma. >> i woke up scared to death. >> melinda and kathy matthews are neighbors in edmond. >> what quake app do you use? >> they check their phone apps to check earthquakes around the state all day long. >> look at that. cherokee, enith, medview. >> all in one day. >> 24 hour period. >> must be unnerving. >> no way to live. no way to live. >> cornell university seismologist, katie kerrinan was teaching in oklahoma when the increase in quakes began. she says the situation is unprecedented.
3:42 am
>> number of earthquakes is astounding. how fast it grew is perhaps more astounding. >> caller: karen and her student katherine lambert set up equipment to detect extremely small quakes in an area where there haven't been any. hoping small quakes may provide warnings of larger ones. >> so far looked at data from four days of recording. we see small earthquakes in the area. >> even over four days. >> over four days we see dozens of earthquakes. >> many dozens? >> she was among the first scientists to link the earthquakes to oil and gas production. >> these are man made earthquakes? >> most people feel that the majority of these are linked to this water being disposed. >> the water that is causing the earthquakes is not from fracking. l and gas. ground to free up this is naturally occurring water.
3:43 am
with the petroleum for millions of years. this is the oil being pumped out. >> oil, gas, water. >> gary is president of petrol warrior, a small independent oil company that operates 14 wells in oklahoma. what happened in the cylinder happens in a grand scale in wells across the region. oil, gas, water naturally separate. so the bubbles. >> salt water here. gas up here. >> oil. >> like any other operator in the region big and small, larue's oil wells produce more water than petroleum. gas and oil are collected in tanks for sale. but the water is too briny to be recycled or used. it's considered waste.
3:44 am
getting rid of the water means sending it down a disposal well, deep below the freshwater to prevent contamination and zone where it came from. >> this is it? >> this is it. >> what the talk is about. >> well in the ground. >> larue's disposal well is one of 3,000 in oklahoma. the state created a website to explain the earthquakes. this map shows disposal wells as blue dots. orange dots are earthquakes. when the price of oil went over $100 a barrel in 2008. oil and gas production increased dramatically. so did the amount of waste water. and earthquakes. what's causing these earthquakes? >> what we have learned in oklahoma its that the earthquakes that are occurring in enormous numbers are result of waste water injection. mark zobach, professor of geophysics at stanford.
3:45 am
the earthquakes. one is the large volumes of water being disposed and the other is where it all goats. deep down into a layer of earth called the arbuckle. >> what makes this such a good place to dispose of all that water? >> well it is very thick. it's porous. permable. it can accommodate very large injection rates. >> reporter: the only problem with the arbuckle its that it sits directly on top of the crystaline basement. earthquake faults. >> this water is seeping into the faults. >> water pressure. fault is clamped shut. the water pressure pushes two side apart. and allows slippage occur today when it might not occur for thousand of years into the future. >> earthquakes are now a daily occurrence in oklahoma. it was three quakes in november, 2011 near the town of prague that caught everyone's
